Afrocentrism is an intellectual and cultural movement that emphasizes the importance of African history, culture, and contributions to civilization. It seeks to center the experiences and perspectives of people of African descent, challenging Eurocentric narratives that often marginalize or overlook their significance. By highlighting the achievements of African societies, Afrocentrism aims to foster pride and a deeper understanding of African heritage. This movement also encourages the study of historical figures and events from an African perspective, such as the Mali Empire, Ancient Egypt, and influential leaders like Nelson Mandela. Afrocentrism promotes a more inclusive view of history, recognizing the interconnectedness of cultures and the impact of Africa on global development.
